In Memory Of Two Dogs And A Car

I spent this past Saturday night burying a dog. Well, 3 am Sunday morning, but still. The dog was this charmingly dumb but very sweet little Pomeranian named Beezus. Around two weeks before that, one of my other dogs, a shaggy terrier named Dirty Girl, died when I was en route to go drive the GT500. In short, it's been …

Volkswagen Golf Cabrio returns, field hockey girls rejoice

The 2012 VW Golf Cabriolet's returning after a long absence, much to the excitement of bossy private school girls who play field hockey and haunt your dreams. It's slightly shorter than the Eos and, hopefully, cheaper. Europe only, for now.

Live Shots of the A3 Cabriolet

a3cabtop.jpgOur man in Bologna snapped these shots of the brand new A3 in brilliant white, looking very much like what we saw earlier. It's so bright, the spokesmodel in the picture can hardly look at it. As a reminder, the A3 vert is getting a pair of gas engines and two diesels with a power range from 105 bhp to 200 bhp. They'll …

Heck, we've even seen some spy shots to prove it. But none have come this up-close and personal as these shots taken by young spy photographer RoAnSa. We're now very much looking…

Touted as a true city sports car by the Smarts, the diminutive urban block carver features a searing orange paint job and cabrio top that folds away in seconds.

BMW 1-Series Coupe Cabrio

bmw_coupe_cabrio.jpgMost of the prototypical BMW 1-Series coupes spotted heretofore have been hardtops disguised as convertibles (reasoning?). But new shots of the 1-Series cab emerged this week, indicating the One will indeed have a cloth roof, not some mass-accruing retractable hardtop. We're expecting a full-on launch of the new coupe…

BMW M3 Cabrio, Near Production

bmw_m3_cabrio_spy_new.jpgRetractable hardtop for a bit more rigidity? Check. Last vestiges of spy-thwarting disguise? Check. High-revving V8 causing forward motion? Apparently so. Hans-Joachim Stück behind the wheel pounding out apexes? Probably not. But still, that's the BMW M3 cabrio, mutable hardtop affixed, rounding the Nürburgring on a…

Spy Photos; More M3, Sans Top

bmw_m3_conv_topspeed.jpg

Well, look what popped up in Augsburg. It's the BMW M3 gone topless. Better to hear that new V8, we'd imagine, though keeping that toupe affixed may be of extra concern to some midlife-crisis buyers. It'll be slightly heavier than the coupe, thanks to typical body strengthening, which means a slightly slower…
